EWING — Online shopping and food delivery have brought everything from pants to pizza to people's doorsteps. But now, Mercer and Bucks County residents can expand their list of things to be shipped to their homes: clean laundry.

"It doesn't matter rich or poor, young or old, 90 percent of people don't like to do laundry," Rick Rome, founder and president of WashClub laundry and dry cleaning services said.

Rome's business, which is currently serving the New York City area, recently expanded to Central Jersey. Now, with the download of WashClub's mobile app, people from Bucks County to East Windsor can have their laundry picked up, washed or dry cleaned, folded, and delivered back to their doorstep.

"There's one thing you cannot get back in life. That's time," Rome said.

The Central Jersey and Pennsylvania laundromats, operated by Dan Marrazzo and his son, Dan Jr., are located in Ewing as well as Morrisville, Newtown and Penndel, Pennsylvania. They currently serve all of Mercer County and mid- and lower Bucks County.

While Dan Jr. is currently handling most of WashClub Penn-Jersey's affairs, Marrazzo said the company will likely be hiring in the upcoming months.

"If this works anything like our Long Island location," he said, "I could imagine we'd be looking for help pretty soon."

Marrazzo predicts that WashClub will be successful across a broad range of people. The service is geared toward "just about anyone who wants the free time," he said, adding that it is about time for laundry delivery.
